Quick Conversions - Old School

As a new edition of the game imminently desendes on us I thought I would take a look back at some of the very earlierst conversions I created. These were done around the time of second edition  so therefore are only representative of what a very young me was capable of.

So what do you do when as a kid you start a new hobby and only have the starter set and a tank (in this instance not even one that is part of the same army) and could really do with some heavy weapon guys? 

Well as this picture shows you butcher a pair of clip together marines giving one a heavy flamer and tank from a leman russ and strap a hunter killer missile launcher to the head of the other guy. The chaos marine in the picture got a new arm purely by chance I bought a metal chaos space marine terminator one day and he came with 3 arms which even for chaos seemed a bit odd but hey new arm for someone else!

Dante here lost his axe, which as a chapter master was probably a little embarrassing so as a punishment he also ended up loosing his legs. As a first attempt with grenstuff it was a little undefined but everyone has to start somewhere. How he steers or why he is still wearing his jetpack (that makes it a jetbike right?) are anybody's guess.

2nd ed vortex grenades are still the best weapons in the game though.

Stormraven mark III production shots

Here are some shots of the Mark III and its turret near the end of its construction. You may notice a distinct lack of plasticard on the model, thats partly due to the fact its quite dificult to get here and expensive when you do, and partly due to the fact that why use plasticard when you can use regular card (in this instance from a box of chicken steaks), create curved surfaces and cut it with scissors and then apply copious amounts of superglue to make it rock hard.
